Climate change, Sustainability and Food Security

Sustainability and Food Security - How will our farms adapt to a changing climate? A detailed, editable 1 hour lesson all about climate change, food security, farming sustainability and the reasons why we need to consume our planet’s resources responsibly. Created to fit an ‘adaptive teaching style’ the lesson is influenced by Rosenshine’s principles of instruction, and promotes both cognitive and metacognitive strategies. In this lesson, the students will discuss the challenges we face if we are to feed a growing future population. We will investigate the pressures of 2 billion extra people by the year 2050, alongside a changing climate. We will discuss the benefits of sustainable farming and the reasons why we need to adapt if we are to feed the planet in the not so distant future. The lesson is ideally suited to students in UKS2 or younger students in KS3. The resources are fully editable, and therefore easy to amend should you wish to use the resources with other year groups. The lesson is fully-scaffolded, contains a variety of activities, an hour long PowerPoint, contains a brand new in-house EC Publishing video clip, and has clear measurable outcomes and success criteria.
